According the author, 'A Song-Story'

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

EARLY MUSIC
Early Music (typically European music from periods prior to the onset of Baroque music of the seventeenth century) sounds were first used experimentally by musicians during the late 1960’s and early ‘70s. These sounds were initially used to signify or give an idea of a past time rather than to represent some point in history. Particularly, they were used as a means to express a wanting for a simpler time. This shift in music was ushered in along generational ties. This is apparent when examined in light of the British artists of the ‘60’s, particularly the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. Most, if not all of these musicians, were born in the early 1940’s and were inspired by blues music, as performed by black Americans during the 1920’s and ‘30s as well as rock-n-roll music during the 50’s. These music styles conveyed a sense of the authentic and were much different than the popular music which was favoured by most adults at the time. As the generations progressed, those who were born in the later 1940’s and early ‘50’s began to feel a need to draw on musical styles which were unique to their own cultural identity. These desires resulted in formation of the genres Folk Rock and Progressive Rock. At the intersection of these two genres, we find an interest to express the past musically through the use of old tunes and melodies and old instruments such as the harpsichord, lute and recorder.
A good example would be Simon & Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair/Canticle” which was an early joining of Early Music and Folk music. The track combined an English folk song with an original song written by Paul Simon. When heard in conjunction with Scarborough Fair’s modal tune and antique lyrics, the harpsichord on this track seems to evoke a non-specific past for listeners. Some years later, the British folk-singer Shirley Collins and her sister Dolly, produced a more explicitly, clearly intended crossover for their then current album. Shunning the usual standard of accompaniment of guitar or banjo, the Collins chose instead, to record a suit of English folk songs to an accompaniment which was arranged by Dolly who also played the portative organ in the song. The folk songs were chosen for the suite, “A Song-Story”, which comprised the entire A side of the album. The songs were arranged to describe the course of a romance. The liner notes relate the story to WWI. However, the mix of musical elements creates a sound which signals a less specific time period.

The mystery of Bermuda Triangle has helped many

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

BERMUDA TRIANGLE
The Bermuda Triangle has always been shrouded in mystery. The missing ships and planes have roused irrevocable inquisitiveness among people. Many theories pertaining to extraterrestrials, evil humans, anti gravity, magnetic field, oceanic flatulence and other technical sounding and weird hypothesis have been put forth. But a few investigators contrive ill luck, pirates, incompetent navigators, to be the cause of these missing ships and planes.
A few diehard rationalists believe there is no mystery element that needs to be explained as the figures pertaining to wrecks is common when there is such excessive traffic on sea. The missing ships perhaps had never touched the Bermuda Triangle’s domain. No scientific derivations prove any aura of mystery enveloping Bermuda Triangle. The surprising subject rather is how Bermuda Triangle became so centralized a topic of mystery.
Probably it began with the disappearance of five Navy planes in 1945. Logic states they vanished due to bad weather and failure of compass field. The trainee pilots lacked the expertise to face the sudden ordeal. The other declaration was that the planes collapsed due to fuel shortage. But in no way any mystery element coincides.
This has been a revered subject for writers as a lot of written material can be found about it. It’s perhaps surprising that no one took the investigation on the mystery. Rather, they all cashed on this mystery to write their best sellers. They passed these derivations of the past, without pondering on them. Slowly, Bermuda Triangle mystery evolved as a farce as these irresponsible authors did not foresee how their accounts would change a myth into a truth in the public eye. The mass media too displayed their phlegmatic attitude in solving this. They plundered the mystery element to spice up their news items. Soon, the superstitious called it the ‘Devil’s Triangle’. Some considered it to be the alien’s domain and some called the Atlantic the ‘cursed water’ which gobbled whoever came across. But, it’s a fact that all these exaggerations have helped to lend fear and fascination to the world’s greatest mystery, the Bermuda Triangle.
